Chapter 492: Social ResponsibilityAt the Proctor Group.
Jacob returned to the office and poured a glass of water for Sharon.
"Thank you" said Sharon.
"Is there a lot of work at the company recently?"
"Not really" answered Jacob after some consideration.
Sharon paused for a second.
"So, what is he busy with?"
Sharon frowned, "Did something happen to the Proctor Family?"
Jacob hurriedly explained, "No, Miss Allyson, it's not the Proctor Group or the family.It's....."
Jacob was hesitant to speak because Jameson had neither allowed nor forbidden him to tell Sharon about this matter.
He had no idea whether he should inform her of this.
Sharon concluded in composure, "So he's cheating on me then."
Jacob almost choked on air.
He immediately spat out the truth, "Mr.Proctor is dealing with matters related to the Beale Group"
"The Beale Group?"
It was a surprise to her.
"Yes” Jacob nodded.
"Even when Tavis Beale was in the group, he had already made a huge mess.Many accounts had serious shortfalls.Now the
situation is even worse.All the projects are halted, companies related are going bankrupt, and so many employees are affected."
"So, he's occupied with this?".
"Still, the Beale Group is one of the largest independent enterprises in the country.Both its influence and size are
incomparable.What the Proctor Group can do at this point is limited."
Sharon lost her words all of a sudden.
Jameson Proctor was dealing with the aftermath of the Beale Group's incident! She closed her eyes and fell into thought.
If even Jameson Proctor and Daniel's people could not solve the problem, then it had to be an enormous challenge.
Perhaps there wasn't another way besides.....
Then it made sense to her why Kale Bee and Jayden Bower had come to her for help.
Jacob said, "Miss Allyson, you have to believe in Mr.Proctor.He can take care of it.But the Proctor Family is watching close right
Sharon considered for a few seconds and then said, "Alright.I understand."
Jacob nodded and exited the office.
Sharon sat on the sofa and looking thoughtfully at the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Time slowly passed as the sky turned grey and then black.
The street lights were on.
Since Jayden and Kale came to her, she had been thinking about it nonstop.
Even though Tiffany and Daniel both asked her to say no...
They both said it would be too heavy of a burden for her, but still, they didn't say it would be WRONG for her to say yes.
Everybody knew that she alone had the ability to temporarily pull the Beale Group back from the edge of total destruction.
Perhaps due to her childhood environment, Sharon always thought she only needed to protect herself and the people she cared
about.
But now, she found it impossible to leave those strangers alone.
She had to do it for the thousands of workers, for herself, and even for Jameson Proctor.
"When did you come here?"
A deep male voice interrupted her contemplation.
Jameson was here.
"Not long ago...You done?"
Jameson sat down next to her and loosened his tie.
"No, not yet.Still a lot of papers to go through."
He pressed his fingers against the forehead.
"Headache?" asked Sharon softly.
"A little."
"I'll give you a massage?"
Jameson looked at her and smiled faintly, "Ok."
Sharon was just about to get up, but Jameson moved and put his head on her lap.
Alright.She started pressing on his head.
Jameson closed his eyes.
"I heard that you're trying to help the Beale Group."
"Did Jacob tell you that?"
"Why are you doing this?"
"What do you mean why?"Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
"Technically, the Beale Group and the Proctor Group haven't had any ties or business relations since long ago.Even if the Beale
Group collapses, the Proctor Group will not be affected.You're always a cold-blooded businessman.You never do anything
against your self-interest."
"....."
Jameson slowly rolled up his eyelids, staring at her with his dark eyes.
Sharon felt anxious to be stared at like that, so she covered his eyes with one hand.
"I'm trying to give you a massage.Don't stare at me like that."
Jameson pulled down her hand.
"So, in your eyes, I'm just an evil capitalist?"
"No! I'm just asking....."
Sharon used a hand to pull down his eyelids again and continued, "If you're doing it for me, then it's even less necessary.You
should know that I don't really want anything to do with the Beale Group."
"Are you calling me dumb?"
"No.I'm praising you.I didn't expect Mr.Proctor to have such a strong sense of social responsibility.You really impressed me"
"....
After a few seconds of pause, Jameson spoke again, "It's not about just the Beale Group anymore.Too many people are
affected.Even though I'm a cold-blooded capitalist, I do good from time to time."
Why did it sound so familiar? "Well, I wanna be a good person once, as well,'' said Sharon.
Jameson opened his eyes again, looking at her with a frown.
Sharon covered his eyes with her hand once more, "Geez! Do you know how to keep your eyes closed?"
"Did someone say something to you?"
"No.....It doesn't matter.When I see the news, I just....."
Sharon had so much to get off her chest.
But Jameson spoke before she could articulate her thoughts, "You don't have to worry about it."
"I know.Necessity is one thing.....But I want to be like Mr.Proctor, who does good from time to time."
"You've decided?"
Sharon lowered her head and confirmed, "Almost."
Since even Jameson Proctor was trying to help, she had no excuse to back down.
It was also a good feeling to take on the challenge with him side by side.
Jameson sat up, held her chin, and laughed without a sound, "I knew you'll do this."
Sharon smiled back at him, "Perhaps I also have a strong sense of social responsibility."
